A new disinfecting compound for
purifying the atmosphere of the sick
room has just been presented to the
Berlin Medical Society. Oils of rose
mary, lavender, and thyme, in the
proportion Of 10, .! and q respective
ty, are mixed with nitric acid in the
proportion of 80 to u. The bottle
should be shaken before using and q
sponge saturated with the compound,
and left to diffuse by evaporation.
Simple as it is, the vapor of this COM
pound is said to possess extraordinary
properties in controlling the odors and
etfiuvia of offensive and infectious dis
eases.
Some men will follow Christ on cer-
tain conditions IF He will not lead
them through rough roads. If He will
not enjoin them any painful tasSs-if
the sun and wind do not annoy them
If He will remit part of His plan
and order. But the true Christian,
who has the Spirit of Jesus, will say,
as Ruth said to Naomi, Whittier thou
goest, l aOW go, whatever difficulties
and dangers may be in the way.
That which is striking and beautiful
is not always good, but that which is
good is always beautiful.

"God Knows HE Anyhow"

Frank had beautiful long hair hang
iEg over his shoulders, and his par
ents were very ploud of his appear
ance. One day he got his mothers
scissors, went to looking-glass, and
cut off all his fair locks. His father
and mother were much displeased
with him for so doing and resolved to
punish him in this way: When they
were all seated at the dinner table his
father pointed to him, said to his mo-
Their: "\yhat little boy is that?"
ppm your little Frankly, papa" he at
once said, not giving his mother time
TO reply. Nonsense" was the fa-
theirs answer, "my little Frankly has
beautiful long hair; I would not give
my Frankly for dozen boys such as
YOU" Frankly now turned to his mo-
ther, and said: "Ain't l your little
Franky?" but mamma only shook
her head. Matters were now looking
serious, and Frankly, becoming alarm
ed, could not make any progress with
his dinner. He now appealed to his
brother, and asked If he was not little
Frankly, but his brother only shook
his head. He was becoming very un-
happy at the thought that father, mo-
ther and brother no longer recognized
him, and at last he burst into tears,
saying as he did so: "Well, it doesn't
matter much, for Gods knows me,
anyhow" Tears were now in other
eyes as well as Franks.

Mistakes of Life.

Somebody has condensed the mis-
takes of life, and arrived at the con-
clusion that there are fourteen OF
them. Most people would say, if they
told the truth, that there was no limit
to the mistakes of life; that they were
like the drops in the ocean or the
sands of the shore in number, but it is
well to be accurate. Here, then, are
fourteen great mistakes ut is a great
mistake to set our own standard of
right and wrong, and judge people ac-
corGingly: to measure the enjoyment
of Others by onr own; to expect uni
formity of opinion in this world; to
look for judgment and experience in
youth to cndeavor to mould all dispo.
sitions alike; to yield to immaterial
trifles; to look for perfection In our
own actions; to worry ourselves ana
others with what cannot be remedied
not to alleviate all that needs allevia-
tior: as far rs lies in our power; not to
make allowances for the infirmities OF
others to consider everything impos-
sible that we cannot perform to be-
lieve only what our finite minds can
grasp; to expect to be able to under
stand everything.

cult and responsible duties to give pro-
per attention and help to penitents.
Particularly is this the case when
there is special interest in the person.
We are so anxious to see them at rest
that we are in danger of urging them
to declare they are saved before they
are ready. Some persons have not yet
realized that sense of their state before
God which is needed before they are
willing to make an entire surrender.
Others have not yet awakened to that
realization of the nature of the step
they are about to take, 80 as to take 1t
properly. And so from a great varie-
ty of causes there are many penitents
who present themselves at the mourn
ers' bench, or the inquiry room, who
are not yet in condition of mind to
believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Is
there not also too much ground to fear
that by the persistent reiteration Of
the word believe" in the ear of peni-
tents, they are only bewildered and
perpleXed? And by constant talking
are not many worried and hindered =?
Then. too, are not some persuaded by
their friends saying, "You are con-
verted, if you would only believe it,.
to accept this statement and cease their
efforts before they have really been
accepted by the Lord?
1t is great matter to give up a life
of sin and be fitted for and enter upon
4 life of holiness; and whilst it Is
most graciously and blessedly true
that "Now is the accepted time, and
now is the day of salvation" yet it is
also true that without repentance there
can be no saving faith-no salvation.
Now what we can do is to let our
penitent friends know that we sympa-
thize with them, we can quote the
promises, We can assure them of Gods
willingness to save, we can bear testi.
mony of how we are saved we can
point them to Christ; and we can pray
with them and for them. But in
large measure they must be.,left to
themselves to wait upon God. It does
not hurt the soul to wait on the Lord
until he manifests himself.
